[opensuse] yast2 tv module?
by Per Jessen 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I have acquired a dual-channel DVB-S receiver card, so this weekend I was playing with setting it up, MythTV, VDR etc. I got it working with mplayer in the end, but on the way I did try out the YAST2 module for TV card config - didn't seem to make much of a difference, so I was wondering what the status of it is? Is it actively maintained and tested etc. or should I not expect too much? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cloning a drive?
by Steven Hess 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I am getting ready to do a zypper dup to 12.1 from 11.4 on my main desktop system. I would like to clone my current / drive to a back up disk (attached via USB). I have used pmagic for this in the past. Is it possible to do this from within the openSUSE 11.4 KDE environment?

[opensuse] Fed up with Kmail2
by Stefan Gofferje 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, I am finally fed up with Kmail2. This piece of software is as buggy as it gets and regularly messes up or looses mails. Even for the longterm pain-used Linux user it's too much. - Mails don't show up in the inbox although they are on the IMAP server for hours - Sent mails are sometimes saved in the configured IMAP folder, sometimes in local folders and sometimes Kmail shows them in the IMAP folder but strangely no other program can find them there - Kmail forces to send GPG signed messages as PGP/Mime, what lots of clients which are used in enterprise and governemt environments can't handle and show empty messages - The latest fun - if I deselect "sign message", Kmail2 still tries to sign the attachments with PGP/Mime, which breaks the attachments. Even Kmail2 can't open them from the sent folder any more @Opensuse Team: I have started using Linux in 1996, my first SuSE was 5.2. So I'm really used to rough roads but what you did with 12.1 is the worst quality I have ever seen from SuSE in over 10 years! If I wouldn't be so used to the SuSE structure and Yast, I would have changed distribution and I'm still considering it. -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bo Installation
by Joseph Loo 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

I have phenom X6 (1055 16 Gbytes with ASUS am3+ motherboard, M5A99x) with XFX 6950 AMD HD card. I have tried both the installation and livecd to do an installation. In both cases, during the installation (before the agreement appears), the install hangs with a black screen. I tried it with a USB stick and still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting it to work. -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Is anyone aware of a good reason why zypper si glibc installs the nosrc.rpm instead of the proper src.rpm? Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] U.S. International keyboard and "R" key.
by James Knott 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

When using the U.S. International keyboard, when the "Alt Gr" key (right Alt key) is pressed along with the "R", the registered symbol, an "R" in a circle is supposed to be produced. In openSUSE, I get ë & Ë instead. Is there any way to change this to the correct character? Also, is it possible to add other characters to the layout? I'm running KDE on 12.1 tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Test page printed, but just in b & w. localhost:631 takes me to Cups page 1.5.0 entered username and password. Then clicked Administration, Printers, Add printer, clicked that. Add printer page Has box for connection with options. I chose socket://hostname:9100 (hostname is 192.168.1.103) hit continue. Next page: Name box: Xerox. Description: Xerox Phaseer 6140N PS v 1.1, Location box: left blank. Sharing, checked that, then coninue. Next page: Box with Makes of printers scroll to Xerox click it. Get box w/models: the 6140N not there so chose the 6130N Foomatic/Postscript. (This worked in Ubuntu and Windows 7.) Next page: Set default options: click the box Menu page: Xerox at top. 2 boxes under that ,drop down arrows in both. One box: Maintenance, other is Administration. Chose maintenance, top item in drop down box is print test page. It DID print the Cups test page but no color. Now, is the printer set up or do I have to go to the system settings, printers, add printer etc so the printer will work in the system such as email and documents from Libre office and with color. Thanks Hope this helps and is not too detailed. Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] multiple routing tables and default route (was: ipv4 forwarding - any known issues?)

Sort of - they are IPIP connections to two other servers, but in different datacentres. > If not, you have to use some method to determine which becomes the > default route. Well, each routing table has a default route. When only "left" is up, the routing table has a default route that says "via left", vice versa when only "right" is up, and when both are up, the routing table has a default route alternates between "left" and "right". See the "nexthop" option for "ip route add". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
